I finished A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. It wasn't bad... but I think the opening (his rules for enjoying the book, his ridiculously long dedication) was really the best part.

I just finished reading "Emma." It's not the one by Jane Austen, it's another one, by Charlotte Bronte. Not very well known, and I think it's out of print, but it is DEFINITELY worth the search.

I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I loved it! It took me awhile because I really wanted to read it slow and enjoy it.

East of Eden by John Steinbeck I really liked it, the message and story were very inspiring.

I just finished Mansfield park by Jane Austen. It´s my first book what I have read by Jane Austen. It is really different from other books what I have read. But it wasn´t bad, it was... different, but I think I like it
